We are delighted that Queen Mary University of London’s Professor Lois Weaver has won the Fighting the Good Fight Award at WOW Women in Creative Industries Awards.

Professor Weaver wins representing; ‘four decades of commitment to work engaging the widest possible public in feminism and human rights through performance’ and was in a hotly contested category with Kate Mosse and Rachel Whiteread.

Set up in 2016 by Jude Kelly CBE, Artistic Director, Southbank Centre, and founder of WOW – Women of the World, the WOW Women in Creative Industries Awards recognise significant achievements made by women in the arts, tech, music, film, games, media, fashion and advertising, and celebrate the women and men progressing equality in the arts and creative industries. They were the first ever cross-sector awards to honour women and genderqueer and non-binary people, who are leading the way in the creative industries.

The winners were announced at a ceremony at Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall, from 12pm on Wednesday 7 March 2018 as part of the Women in Creative Industries Day, the first day of Southbank Centre’s WOW London 2018 festival, supported by Bloomberg.
